(URGENT) Garden Warfare 2, BFN are facing Multiplayer bans from cheaters

As oif October 5th, 2024, the banning exploit that was reported about last year that was supposedly patched by the EAAC Update has come back and is terrorizing innocent players and content creators again. The exploit, which isn’t done by any modding programs, but with Cheat Engine was said to be patched last year when the update was released. However, this was not the case, and the EA Anti-Cheat was instead forced our way. 

The exploit works by running a specific Cheat Engine script that sets a character’s level to 46. Which is an invalid level that a character can have. This prevents ALL multiplayer access aside from Ops gamemodes. Seeing as the game is mostly multiplayer focused, letting an exploit run wild that essentially bricks multiplayer access is awful. It lowers player count, which decreases any money gained from those players.

In short, this exploit needs to be fixed. Cheat Engine gets bypassed by the EA AntiCheat, more importantly, it is a game issue. This wouldn’t even be a problem if the team that temporarily worked for the EA AntiCheat fixed the leveling. Either removing the Level 46 from existence or by capping the possible level at 45.

The developers need to fix this, and any PvZ community member needs to spread this forum post to spread awareness.
